As per Yankee 99 I asked about such a template and was given a link to existing templates which only included a blank and mariage affidavit. I will ask while I am there maybe they have them available for printing eventhough they are not on the website. Is Sui Juris simply a document that states that I am an adult over 20 years of age? you might email the bkk embassy and see what they say 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAIJAMES Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I mentioned that many persons have gotten suck a letter from the embassy and asked them if they changed their policy recently and this is the reply: Our process has not changed. The U.S. Embassy is not authorized to provide a notary stating that you intend to renounce your citizenship. We do not have templates and are not generally involved in the Thai citizenship approval process. If you would like a notary, please make an appointment through our website, however, as stated above, we cannot notarize a statement with intent to relinquish U.S. citizenship.

I have contacted Special Branch Police and they are aware of this for some reason and informed me that I would need a letter from them to get the notorized letter. But I must first submit my application. I have an appointment with the consulate on the 15th and will try my luck with the example you have provided.

It was indeed a looooooooooong and boring day, enlivened only by the need to keep my wife from berating the hapless officials for ordering us to be there by 10 am, and then not being interviewed until 2.30 pm and the interview taking 5 minutes. Most of the interview was taken up explaining why we'd passed on two previous interview dates ... A structured system of interviews being conducted on a specific date each month, and applicants assigned a specific time slot would be a massive time saver for all. It seems to be an alien concept that a husband and wife might actually both work and possibly might not work in jobs that allow you to suddenly factor in the need to spend a day at a government office with less than a week's notice. We turned up at 9.45 to allow for review of documents and I had a Santa's Sack of every document and bit of paper ever issued to me ... no-one asked to see anything, not even passport or wife's ID to verify we were who we said we were. My wife chatted with several of the wives of the applicants that day and she got a call from one today saying her husband just received a letter saying he passed. He is from a non-Western, non-Chinese country that I won't name. She apparently knows 'someone', and said that out of 108 people that day, 3 failed the interview. I am just passing this along, I cannot vouch for this. I have not received any notification. I hope I am not among those three, if that is accurate!

THAIJAMES Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Has any american in the past year been able to obtain a renounciation letter from the embassy or consulate? Special Branch Chiang Mai informed me today that famous youtuber Udom Suksanaih was also rejected trying to get a renoucination letter from the Chiang Mai consulate, but because of his connections at the Interior ministry was able to get a waver.

Thank you that is encouraging I just need to find out what people are doing to get around the embassy's not signing the renunciation letter. That's pretty quick I think things might take longer up here in Chiang Mai 5555. If I can't find a way out of this here in Chiang Mai then I will try my luck at the embassy where there's a lot more officials and some may not know or care about the official policy about renunciation letters.
